Customer Reviews Summary

I am a grown man. I am a thirtysomething. I have a mortgage and a bum knee. I pay taxes, go to the market when need be and give to local charities. I do all the things and adult is supposed to do. But when I read Harry Potter I am gloriously and whole heartedly a child once more. I stumbled upon Harry Potter quite by accident right about the time book III was coming out. My ex-girlfriend was a fanatic. I had seen the first two movies and liked them quite a bit, but not enough to pick up the books. To help spur me on, she bought me "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and reluctantly I read it. I was rabid afterwards. I devoured the book in three evenings. I went back and bought the first two and greedily tore through those as well. Then, I had to wait...like everyone else, waited to get another helping of that delicious Potter lore. Book 4 was amazing. Best of the series in my mind. First time I ever cried while reading a book. In case you care...it happened towards the end when Harry wakes up in the medical wing of Hogwarts and Mrs. Weasley is holding him and giving him the protective unconditional type of love he had never had before. I too grew up in such a way and totally lost it in that moment. Book 5 came and I was once again breathless. Goodbye Sirius...man, that was a hard one to take. Book 6 arrived and as I gently but feverishly thumbed page after page, I suddenly realized what was about to happen and nearly "lost it" again. I understood the sacrifice and am happy to report was dead on about Snape and his part in the bigger picture. The we come to book 7. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". To tell you truth, I didn't want to read it. I knew by reading it would mean something I didn't want to end would be ending. I started slowly. A few chapters a night. Make it last...delay the pleasure as long as you can, I thought. It was so hard to time manage the book in this manner. J.K. hits so hard so fast that you can't put the book down after the seven Potters chapter! What happened to everyone? Did Mad-Eye really die? I kept reading. One more chapter and I will go to bed. The wedding happened then the ministry falls and Harry, Ron and Hermione run for it. One more chapter. The kids sneak into the ministry and nearly get caught. The prolonged stay in the woods. Just one more chapter then off to bed. They get caught...oh my? The Malfoy manor and the fate of Dobby. Ok, I must admit...I cried when Dobby died. Caught me off guard. He sacrificed everything for the boy who set him free. Ok, will just read til I can't read no more. The sword in the pool, the Gringott's break in and the Dragon Exodus was enthralling, but J.K. had better in store. The ace up her sleeve started when we see Neville Longbottom emerge from the tunnel and the Battle of Hogwarts begins. From then on it's a water slide ride to the end. J.K. manages to include every character we hoped to see once more. It was amazing to see everyone show up for the battle of their lives. The staging and eloquence in which the words unfolded, was a master class in writing. Just because the words aren't complicated doesn't mean they don't have power. J.K. does not need to overwrought the narrative to show she is a writer. Tell the story concisely with passion and control and you will have success. Ok, sorry for the segway...back to Harry. The fiendfire was great. Goodnight Crabbe, I never liked you. Harry understands what he has to do and transcends boyhood to manhood on his journey to the end. Ok, here is where I break down and cry like I did when I read "Where the Red Fern Grows". Harry turns the Hallow ring in his hand and meets the ghosts of Sirius, Remus, James and Lily. "You have been so brave" she tells him...there I go. I sobbed like a baby and am not ashamed to admit it. I regained control of my faculties and soldiered on. Harry faces his fate like you knew he would and at Kings Cross he gets to see Dumbledore one more time. Cue, waterworks one more time. As soon as he died I knew he was going to live. Truth be told, I knew in my heart J.K. would never kill Harry. Then Hagrid carries Harry back to Hogwarts and the people rebel. Mrs. Weasley nearly steals the show. Neville becomes a true hero which leaves Harry and Voldermort. Finally, the end has come. As a reader you could see it coming. The answer was so clear that the exposition offered was almost moot at this point. "Try for some remorse". The green light explodes and clashes with the gold light. Harry stands triumphant. I see now what the cover illustrates. Harry holds out his hand to catch the elder wand as Voldermort falls lifeless. Whew. I was wet with sweat and excitement. Nineteen years later. Where are the darn tissues. Once again I was caught off guard. J.K. hands us one last morsel of this spectacular world. We get to see the continued happiness of people we have grown to love. Little Albus. So cute. He and Rose will be like Harry and Hermione. James is going to be like his uncle George. I do wish Ron and Hermione had named Hugo, Fred...but that is neither here nor there. I will not criticize what I see as a gift. The gift of imagination and entertainment is as precious as any priceless gem. I have read "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" three times. I find it the best of the series, which is a feat unto itself. To end stronger than you started. To me that is the mark of the truest talent.
